A Life-Changing Journey: Roots Mission 2013
In March 2013, 15 teenagers from Pardes Channa-Karkur, Israel, went on a 10-day trip to Ethiopia, on a mission called “Roots,” to gain a better understanding of the sacrifices and difficulties their parents and grandparents had to endure to give them a more prosperous life as Israelis.
The students said it was very difficult meeting with the people who had left their villages, and were now waiting for certification of their “Jewishness,” or their permission to make Israel their new home.
